Q&A with Ben Lamm, Founder and CEO at Hypergiant

Media 7 | February 23, 2021

Ben Lamm, Founder and CEO at Hypergiant, has been launching and building disruptive businesses for over a decade. Prior to Hypergiant, he was the CEO and founder of Conversable, the leading conversational intelligence platform that helps brands reach their customers through automated experiences on all major voice and text platforms.

In addition to leading and growing his companies, he is active in angel investing, incubators, and startup communities, with investments in the software and emerging tech space. He has served as an active voice in the tech community, as well as an active mentor to fellow entrepreneurs on how to build disruptive businesses through accelerators and corporate programs.

Make sure your messaging is extremely clear. A lot of companies do not make it clear to their audience what they do. If it’s not clear, customers won’t convert or you will get the wrong customers.



MEDIA 7: Could you please tell us a little bit about yourself? How did you come up with the idea of Hypergiant?
BEN LAMM:
I’ve probably been thinking about Hypergiant since I watched my first sci-fi movie as a kid, if we’re being totally honest. Early ideas around artificial intelligence have played a defining role in my career because I’m a big believer in the “if you dream it, you can build” theory. AI always seemed like something we could figure out and each day with Hypergiant we get closer. We get closer because I’ve built four other companies, grown them, and they have ultimately been acquired. Over my various ventures, I have learned how to create strong great teams, while staying abreast of growing trends and science. But, it probably all started with movies.

Hypergiant is building a next-generation AI platform to help AI service companies and enterprises build rapidly deployable solutions to solve critical use cases around critical infrastructure, space, and defense.

M7: What are your major marketing and advertising tactics to drive more buyer traffic to the site?
BL:
There are probably two things: we stand on a very strong brand and we have a lot to say. We publish a lot and encourage our employees to develop points of view about the world and then to go and write and share about that work. The majority of our site leads come because customers have heard or read something that the team has written, or the great work they have done, and then people reach out to learn more. Those leads convert because we have an extremely strong brand that is a product of a focused vision on the future based on an understanding of the right now. It serves a powerful punch: good ideas presented in a fun and not boring way.


Consumers are savvy and want products and solutions that are tailored to their needs and that will not only unharm but help their environment.



M7: How does AI impact the end result for your consumers?
BL:
We live in a machine learning world. This means that all of our processes and services are going to change in response to the rising dominance of machine learning and AI. For our customers this is apparent in a lot of different ways: AI powers HR solutions, logistics processes, search results, and satellites. And, they use this in-house, for their customers and to power dashboards that are utilized inside and outside their companies.

M7: How do you prepare for an AI-centric world as a Business Leader?
BL:
Learn about it. One of the things I see often is that business leaders are so heads down in their own industry they miss obvious opportunities. This is a big issue in AI where everyone thinks “oh that’s so complicated, we can figure it out later.” The truth is if you are learning about it now, you are building the future that best benefits your business.


This is a big issue in AI where everyone thinks “oh that’s so complicated, we can figure it out later.” The truth is if you are learning about it now, you are building the future that best benefits your business.



M7: What according to you is the best way to find a qualified audience for your services?
BL: 
Make sure your messaging is extremely clear. A lot of companies do not make it clear to their audience what they do. If it’s not clear, customers won’t convert or you will get the wrong customers. You want to be clear and say: we sell x, our customers are y. I think that cuts down on a lot of issues that complicate the path for a qualified audience. But, this requires that you know exactly what you sell and who you build for and that requires some serious soul-searching on behalf of many.

M7: What do you believe are the top three product marketing challenges in the post COVID-19 era?
BL: 1) Fear:
people are going to have a lot of PTSD for a long time post COVID-19. So, the first thing is understanding their fear and abating it. People won’t want to try new things. They will be leery of things that feel foreign or strange. I think that will be a struggle for anyone with something new and novel.

2) Environment: We have a massive climate change crisis that we cannot ignore. If your product doesn’t take that into account, I think you are going to struggle in the long term. Consumers are savvy and want products and solutions that are tailored to their needs and that will not only unharm but help their environment. You can no longer “greenwash” things - you must do the right thing and say the right thing.

3) Hands-on: I think people will still not want to go to large convening places like malls which means that hands-on demos will have to be more personal, in smaller locations, and with fewer attendees -- that means things will be more expensive. The challenge will be to figure out how to reach scale while not being in places of scale and also not being online all the time. Online fatigue is also a real challenge.

M7: What is your marketing mantra to stand out in an overly saturated MarTech space?
BL:
“Be us. Be better. Think ahead.”

Latest Couchbase Capella Release Features New Developer Platform Integrations and Greater Enterprise Features

Prnewswire | June 02, 2023

Couchbase, Inc. (NASDAQ: BASE), the cloud database platform company, today announced a broad range of enhancements to its industry-leading Database-as-a-Service Couchbase Capella™. The newest release of Capella will be accessible by popular developer platform Netlify and features a new Visual Studio Code (VS Code) extension, making it easier for developers and development teams to build modern applications on Capella, streamline their workflows and increase productivity. Coinciding with National Cloud Database Day, Couchbase is also extending its enterprise deployability and introducing new features, allowing customers to move more applications to Capella with a lower TCO. "The reality is that developers don't want to spend their time operating and integrating separate primitives. Capella's new developer platform integrations aim to address this widespread issue, minimizing the developer experience gap and allowing teams to focus on what they do best — writing code and solving problems," said Rachel Stephens, senior analyst at RedMonk. Simplifying the Developer Experience With Netlify, VS Code and Capella Findings from Couchbase's recent developer survey reveal that the majority of developers (94.9%) are currently at or over their work capacity and are on the brink of or already feeling overwhelmed. To reduce this friction and help developers lower their number of operational tasks, Couchbase is extending Capella to more of the developer platform ecosystem that is highly favored by frontend and full stack developers. The new integration for Capella makes it easy for developers to connect to Netlify for more simplified and agile web application development. In addition, the new VS Code extension is designed to provide a seamless experience for Capella users who want to work within the popular source-code editor. These ecosystem enhancements are now available and reduce friction so that developers can focus on building innovative modern apps. "Netlify's platform unites an extensive ecosystem of technologies, services and APIs into one workflow to empower developers to build composable web experiences with the tools that best suit their needs. In this way, Netlify meets their users where they are, allowing them to embrace the composable web in a manner that respects their existing businesses, while also balancing flexibility and enterprise-grade reliability. I'm a strong believer that when the ecosystem wins, we all win. That's why we're so excited to deepen our ties with Couchbase to strengthen and diversify the ecosystem of tools developers are using to build the modern web," said Chris Bach, co-founder and chief strategy and creative officer at Netlify. Broader Enterprise Deployability and New Enterprise Features Couchbase is also broadening Capella's enterprise features and deployability so customers can move more applications to the cloud database platform. The new Capella enhancements deliver the following benefits: Support for time series data. A new time series array function in Couchbase's support for JSON will enable a broader set of use cases, such as IoT or finance apps. By using time series arrays, Couchbase is able to utilize all of its data access, processing and storage features including its patented array indexing and high-density storage engine. This approach will enable development teams to quickly and easily extend new features to their applications without adding complexity to their architecture or infrastructure, allowing them to be more agile and productive while driving cost efficiency. Extending deployability of Capella. Couchbase has added over 10 new supported regions across the three major cloud service providers and larger instance sizes. Capella is also available directly in each of their marketplaces. Capella adds support for memory-only buckets (ephemeral databases) for caching and transient data use cases. Security and compliance capabilities are enhanced through Google Cloud HIPAA compliance and with private endpoints for Azure. Enhanced management. Managing Capella is even easier now with the introduction of dynamic disk scaling, hibernation of clusters and the enabling of downloadable buckets. Also new is change data capture, which recognizes and automates change history on documents. This is then streamable via Kafka to other applications. These enhancements collectively position Capella as a single, comprehensive cloud database platform that offers broad multimodel support and in-memory performance — a powerful combination that lowers TCO for customers. "We continue to broaden the Capella capabilities and make it easier for new developers to come on board and take advantage of our industry-leading cloud database platform," said Scott Anderson, SVP of product management and business operations at Couchbase. "Development teams can get started with Capella more quickly and do more with our cloud database platform, improving efficiency and productivity. And for operations teams, Capella becomes even easier to deploy and manage while broadened enterprise capabilities handle more workloads at a fraction of the cost compared to other document-based DBaaS offerings." The new release of Capella will be generally available in the second quarter. Couchbase will host a webcast on June 7 and 8 to discuss what's new in Capella and how customers can benefit from the latest enhancements. Register here. About Couchbase Modern customer experiences need a flexible database platform that can power applications spanning from cloud to edge and everything in between.
